thanks everyone for all the positive feedback, it definitely made a good impression...as in, she passed along the rest of the photos
she's really happy about the response and the kind words. we talked a little bit about where this came from and her mindset is that these photos (and hopefully others) are really another pursuit of art for her. Her drawings, paintings all wind up being of figures and people, and this lets her try to use herself in that same kind of light. to get out some bad notions of her self-image by making something beautiful with it. (and being reinforced and perhaps a little turned on and motivated by comments from you fine folks)
...all i have to say is "god bless art"
i also talked to her about getting on the site directly, and got a 'we'll see', but in the meantime here are the additional pictures.
